Authorities investigate fatal train crash in Spain and serious road accidents in Turkey
Inquiries are underway after a high-speed train collision in Spain killed at least 64 people, while several road accidents in Turkey resulted in fatalities and multiple injuries.
Authorities in Spain and Turkey have launched investigations following several severe transport incidents.
In central Spain, at least 64 people were killed when two high-speed passenger trains collided near Los Yebenes in Toledo province on the Madrid-Seville rail corridor, sending two carriages down an embankment.
Meanwhile, a series of traffic collisions occurred across Turkey. In Ankara's Polatlı district, a head-on car crash left three people dead and four injured. In Isparta's Keçiborlu district, 17 seasonal agricultural workers were injured after their minibus struck a freight truck. Another freight vehicle collision resulted in one fatality and three injuries. Local emergency services responded across all sites, and law enforcement agencies are continuing inquiries into the causes.
